What it is
Enriched wheat flour is made by milling wheat grains to remove the bran and germ, leaving the endosperm. After milling, certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron are added back to restore nutrients lost during processing.
Why it's used
It is a primary ingredient in many baked goods, providing structure and texture to products like bread, bagels, pasta, and pastries. Manufacturers use it as a base for a wide variety of food products.
Health notes
Enriched wheat flour is a common food ingredient, not a food additive, and is generally recognized as safe for consumption by the FDA. The enrichment process helps prevent nutrient deficiencies in the population by restoring key vitamins and minerals. For individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, consuming wheat flour can cause adverse health reactions due to its gluten content.
Allergen info
Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It also contains gluten, which can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
